Wow am I disappointed! I have another pair of this exact style, purchased several years ago in navy nubuck. They are my favorite shoes, so when I needed something a little more dressy, I chose this pair. They are simply not up to Mephisto quality. The cobra leather is thin, sags near the connection to the sole on one shoe, so it looks and feels like cheap material. They are my size, but I cannot get them tight enough over the instep because they stretched so quickly and the buckle won't go any tighter. So, these pricey shoes fit poorly despite the terrific footbed, etc. If I hadn't already worn them and poked new buckle holes in the straps trying to make them fit, I would try to return them. Be warned!

I was really excited to try these based on all the good reviews, but unfortunately I found them very uncomfortable. They are so hard, it's like walking on rocks! The arch support area was particularly hard, to the point of being painful to walk in. One shoe was worse than the other, so maybe something was wrong with it? However, for this amount of money they should be perfect; they are going back. They do seem true to size; I would not order up. If anything, they seem kind of wide. Thanks, Zappos, for your excellent customer service!

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I really don't want to wear any other shoes at all. I have worn Birkenstock shoes for many years, and I intended to purchase another pair as mine are worn out, but took a chance on these instead. They are much more comfortable than Birkenstocks and look better too. They seem to be very well made, and I'm guessing they will last a good long time. I was just considering buying another pair, just in case something terrible happens and they stop making these.

This is my second pair of Mephisto Hannels. I live in them for much of the year. The first pair is still going strong, although getting a bit grubby, after three or four years. A good investment, although they do take a bit of work to break in and soften up.
